Allright thank you for the information. So we can claim it but we need to ensure that we have a day of hospitalisation along with the other drug to claim it under medical claim.

Roche India has various distributors through out India. Hospitals may or may not accept it buying from them, but due to it's high cost, You can request your consulting for that.
